1 BACKGROUND: Miscoding mutations of the TET2 gene, which encodes the alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent enzyme that catalyses the conversion of 5-methylcytosine to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, thus producing DNA demethylation, have been detected in 10-25% of acute myeloid leukaemias lacking IDH1/2 mutations. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine isocitrate dehydrogenase (NADP(+)) 1 Homo sapiens
